Why would college students be flummoxed by a recitation of Zinn's trash?


Critical Theory indoctrinators working at colleges as professors routinely assign the writings of fantasist Howard Zinn in their classes.

So why would college students be taken aback by a janitor reciting Zinn fairy tales they would likely have been assigned to read themselves?

Sorry, but these particular scene is horribly contrived.

They weren't taken aback by him reciting Zinn. They were taken aback by the fact that he knew it to the page number, knew all the other books they would eventually read, and completely humiliated the guy...and wasn't even a student at Harvard. He was quoting chapter and verse, and it surprised them. Would me too.

Whores will have their trinkets.

wow. that's a lot of stereotyping.

most college students aren't marxist zombies, unless maybe you're talking about a vocal minority of students that are easy to make lazy humor of.
